on secret expedition, September 29, 1777, under General

Deborah Sampson (1760-1827), of Massachusetts, served in 
the Revolution as a private soldier. In an affidavit by her 
when she relinquished her invalid pension and received the 
benefits of the Acts of Congress, March 18, 1818, she testified, 
as here copied in part: "Deborah Gannett, of Sharon, County 
of Norfolk, District of Massachusetts, maketh oath that she 
served as a private soldier, under the name of Robert Shurtleff, 
in the War of the Revolution, upwards of two years. Enlisted 
iri April, 1781, in company commanded by Captain George 
Webb, in the Massachusetts Regiment commanded by Colonel 
Shepherd, and afterwards by Colonel Henry Jackson, and 
served until November, 1783, when she was honorably dis- 
charged in writing; she was at the capture of Cornwallis, was 
wounded at Tarrytown, and now receives a pension from the 
United States, etc." — Massachusetts District, September 14, 
18 1 8. In January, 1792, she petitioned the Legislature of 
Massachusetts, and stated that "from zeal for the good of her 
country was induced, and by the name of Robert Shurtleff did, 
on May 20, 1782, enlist as a soldier in the Continental service

for three years in the 4th Regiment; was mustered in the 23d 
of same month; was wounded; continued in service until 
discharged by General Knox at West Point, October 25, 1783." 
A resolve was passed in accordance with this petition, January 
19, 1792, signed by John Hancock, and she was paid thirty- 
four pounds, the note bearing interest from October 23, 1783 
(about $100). There is a difficulty that she testifies to different 
years of entering the service, viz: 1781 and 1782. It is a tradi- 
tion in the family that she was at Yorktown at surrender of 
Cornwallis. Mr. James Adams Vinton, in his notes to a 
reprint of the work, "The Female Review," considers 1782 
the correct date. She was wounded severely several times, 
and always bore an unblemished character.
